Line 196:
*** It could mean that if you get it right on guess one or guess two, it doesn't count. Or we could just be overanalyzing something that's clearly meant as sarcasm.
**** It means that it's so painfully obvious that no one with half a brain should need more than the one guess, hence the first two being worthless.
* "I'll never wash (these clothes/this body part) again": Something romantic happens to a character involving his/her clothes/body part. Examples: Doug holding Patty's arm (''[[Doug]]''), Arnold hugging Helga (''[[Hey Arnold!]]!'', "Arnold's Hat"), and there's also a variation in ''[[Hey Arnold!]]!'', "It Girl", involving Helga shoving Eugene.
** Subverted in ''[[The Simpsons]]'', where, after Bart declares this about his hand, we cut to ten minutes later, where we see it's become incredibly dirty.
** Similarly in the ''[[Discworld]]'' novel ''Jingo'', Nobby says he'll never wash his hankerchief again, then blows his nose ("It still bends, see?")
